global downturn culls worlds millionaires


global downturn culls worlds millionaires

A new survey performed by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini has outlined the effects of the global economic downturn on the world's wealthiest people. Figures show the number of high net worth individuals, those with over £18 million to invest has dramatically fallen by nearly 15% compared to 2008. The effects on the UK was far greater where high net worth individual numbers fell by 26.3% in the last year.

The substancial reduction in the UK has been driven by falling property and asset valuations, a reduction in stocks and shares prices and reduced turnover and profits for businessmen and women. At present the USA has the highest number of super rich people residing there. However, experts have predicted that China and other Asia-Pacific countries are likely to knock the US off the top spot by 2013.
